The M head was made with 3 different spindle tapers. It came in MT-2, B&S #7, and B3. If you have the B3 taper, you'd better get the collets from the last guy that used it!

I don't think there ever was a REAL manual for the old machines. There was a thing that had procedures to change belts, a lube chart, and exploded parts drawings. I have some bad photocopies of those.

Don't expect much help from Bridgeport (now owned by Hardinge) as these M-head machines are over 50 years old.
